This was a wonderful side dish, and very pretty! The combination of raisins, apples and cheese with the squash was great. It was a lot of food for the two of us (I used one small white swan squash) so we had leftovers for ages. In one of our reheats of it, I took it out of the shell and mixed it all together, threw a little butter on top and warmed it up. I think it was even better this way because you got all the flavours mixed together. DH and I both ate more of it once it was out of the shell (though it doesn't look as nice as it did in the beginning:) Thanks for a great recipe!
